SANTA MONICA, CA (January 7, 2017) – Hulu today announced a new content licensing agreement with The Disney-ABC Television Group for the exclusive subscription streaming video-on-demand rights to ABC’s hit comedy series, black-ish.
After returning for its midseason premiere this week, ABC’s critically acclaimed, hit series, black-ish, continues to score double-digit Adult 18-49 growth week to week in its third season. The series, which just earned its first Golden Globe® nomination for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy, is available to stream in its entirety now on Hulu and new episodes will continue to be available to stream for subscribers the day after they air on ABC.
black-ish stars Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Laurence Fishburne, Yara Shahidi, Marcus Scribner., Miles Brown, Marsai Martin, Jenifer Lewis and Peter Mackenzie.

The deal comes on the heels of Hulu’s first licensing agreement with The Walt Disney Studios for theatrical features.
